Windows 10: A newbie question on Windows To Go

I know WinToGo is applicable only to Enterprise version................ officially.

My question is :
If I have win 10 installed to a certified USB ( yes, I know I can use a non-certified one with limitations), I can take it to any Windows computer, plug it in, and presto........ Win 10 at your service ?

If so, why would anyone want to upgrade his/her precious reliable OS to Win 10 ?

I am sure I have misunderstood a lot on this subject.
Someone please correct and enlighten me.

Thank you.

:)

newbie questions

recently bought a SIM free E72-1 in Israel from an independent dealer. (not cell company)



Software version 022.007 Software version date 10 Dec 09

Custom version 022.007.C00.01 Custom version date 10 Dec 09

Language Set 24.01

Model E72-1

RM-530

Product Code 0586218 (which i see from checking product lists is 0586218: EMERGING ASIA QW BLACK)

the phone has eng and heb software



my questions:

1 - are there any SW updates available to this model

2 - what does the qw in the phone product description mean

3 - does anyone have a list of the language codes

4 - the phone has eng and heb software and keyboard, the letter mapping of the keyboard both eng and heb is correct. the punctuation (hypen, pound sign, colon, period etc) is NOT correct. does anyone know where to get an alternate keyboard that is correctly
mapped?

(I presume this is a phone imported by the independent dealer who then burned eng heb software on it as it is different from the product codes I see are sold by the cell companies in Israel)

 

Enterprise - uses a Volume License Key...

 

You won't get anywhere near the performance of Windows 10 that's running on an SSD. You also could be space-limited, even with a large flash drive.

I have to ask though...you seem to hint that Windows 10 isn't reliable. Windows 7 was very reliable for me. Windows 8.1 was very reliable for me. Windows 10 is every bit as reliable, or more, than any previous version. In fact, it's been so reliable and performs so well, I've begun rolling it out to across my company.

 

USB Performance was my next statement..

 

Sure you can. You can install any Windows version on any USB.

If you plug it into another PC it will not be licensed though as the hardware has changed (unless you have volume license). You also can't upgrade it and it is slower.

 

But Win 10 will run albeit slow and not upgradable ?

 

Yes, it works fine. I do it. I use a partition of a USB hard drive but it is the same procedure.

You can use the (pretty brief) powershell steps here if you don't have enterprise Windows To Go Step by Step - TechNet Articles - United States (English) - TechNet Wiki


Because I've only used it on my normal PC it activated automatically with the digital entitlement but I'm certain this would break if I tried it elsewhere.

 

Thank you.
I have the Howtogeek tutorial.
Yours appears to be hell of a lot more in details and perhaps complicated.

 

I am just merely mirroring the sentiments from people having issues one way or the other using Windows 10.
Whether it is because of the users' ignorance which causes the issues is another topic.

My 2 laptops running Win 10 have no issue at all.

 

The Howtogeek tutorial (if you mean this How to Create a Windows To Go USB Drive Without the Enterprise Edition) is missing 2 steps.

It doesn't set SanPolicy to 4 (which stops you accessing local disks) and it doesn't disable recovery environment. It will work without these steps though but be careful not to write anything to your normal boot disks especially if you have fast boot or hibernation enabled.

Why not give it a try anyway? If you install Enterprise evaluation you'll not have worry about activation.

 

I used a 128GB SSD and attached it to the eSata port. Works like a charm. USB3 ports are nearly as fast.

And here is how I did it.

Windows 10 - Setup and Run on USB Flash Drive - Windows 10 Forums

 

It will be my next new project.
Thank you.

 

Or you just apply the install.wim to the USB drive and then use bcdboot to create a bootable USB
Windows to Go

Or appy the install.wim to a vhd on the USB and once again use bcdboot to make the USB - vhd bootable

Dism, Bcdboot, install.wim and USB all you need.. Although External HDD better..
